SSI includes any number of data, and the SSI market is set to expand exponentially over the next four years.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Imagine this scenario:<\/strong> you are about to buy a train ticket, and you want to use a senior citizen. Customer service asks for an ID. Your ID certainly shows you meet the age criteria, but you have now disclosed your name, your exact age, and where you live. None of which they needed!<\/p>\n<p><strong>This scenario takes place each and every day in the digital realm:<\/strong> we disclose our data and information to service providers, generating any number of \u201cdigital identities\u201d over which we have little or no control. The most recent developments in terms of digital identity have aimed to bring that control back to the user who created them, thanks to the Self Sovereign Identity model.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39893\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intesa.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Self-Sovereing-Identity_Immagine-articolo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldintesa.etinet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Self-Sovereing-Identity_Immagine-articolo.png 1200w, https:\/\/oldintesa.etinet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Self-Sovereing-Identity_Immagine-articolo-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/oldintesa.etinet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Self-Sovereing-Identity_Immagine-articolo-768x269.png 768w, https:\/\/oldintesa.etinet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Self-Sovereing-Identity_Immagine-articolo-1024x358.png 1024w, https:\/\/oldintesa.etinet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Self-Sovereing-Identity_Immagine-articolo-1080x378.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What is Self Sovereign Identity and How it Works<\/h3>\n<p>To be \u201csovereign\u201d over our identity, to be able to control and to choose which our our personal data to share, and with whom: <strong>Self Sovereign Identity is an ideal model for digital identity.<\/strong> The underlying rationale (simplistic only at first blush) is that <strong>identity must always be under the exclusive control of the individual it represents<\/strong>, and they may in turn utilize it at their discretion, with no intermediary required.<\/p>\n<p>How does the Self Sovereign Identity work? SSI was born out of a need for both \u201cdirect\u201d identification between a user and a service provider (I create an account on a website to be able to use your service), as well as for \u201c3-corner\u201d identification (I use the account from one service to sign up for a separate service).<\/p>\n<p>The Self Sovereign Identity is instead based on the Decentralized Identity paradigm: it is <strong>the user who has a single identity, to which a series of attributes called \u201cclaims\u201d are linked by other entities, known as \u201cissuers\u201d which are always then subject to verification by the \u201cverifier.\u201d<\/strong> To put it simply, each digital ID has a series of personal claims: a university might attribute \u201cdegree held\u201d to the graduate\u2019s digital identity, who may also have within their \u201cwallet\u201d the attribution of \u201cMilan resident\u201d associated with them by the Municipality of Milan.<\/p>\n<p>Even more fascinating is how blockchain is used in the SSI model. <strong>Blockchain<\/strong>, to wit, in addition to making each claim verifiable and fixed, <strong>grants the identity-holder the option of presenting the claims individually<\/strong>, and subjecting them to verification. To return to the train-ticket example: with SSI, we would&#8217;ve been able to demonstrate (and the customer-service agent to verify) the requisite age for the discount without having to disclose the rest of our information.<\/p>\n<h3>SSI: Advantages and Potential Applications<\/h3>\n<p>A single identity to access an array of services. <strong>Thanks to the SSI model we can use our unambiguous \u201cwallet\u201d to access our banks, personal accounts, public services, all without having to memorize a series of credentials<\/strong>. From there, the potential ripple effects of the SSI model multiply in all directions. Just think of the possibilities within the digital-banking or e-voting arenas, not to mention what we might have been able to accomplish during the Covid-19 lockdown to replace hard-copy self-certifications.<\/p>\n<p>How much of this is now available in the real world? A lot more than you think. In fact, <strong>in June of 2020 a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intesa.it\/cetif-universita-cattolica-e-intesa-gruppo-ibm-in-collaborazione-con-cherrychain-avviano-progetto-nazionale-per-gestire-lonboarding-e-il-processo-di-know-your-customer-su-tecnol\/\">pilot project<\/a> was launched regarding digital identity, onboarding, know your customer, and blockchain.<\/strong> The project was spearheaded by CeTIF, Universit\u00e0 Cattolica, Intesa (IBM Group) and CherryChain, and the goal was to share user information among participants within a certain ecosystem to facilitate onboarding and know-your-customer procedures.<\/p>\n<h3>A market slated for growth<\/h3>\n<p>No wonder, then that the SSI market is estimated by <strong>Juniper Research to skyrocket from the 100 million forecasted for 2020 to 1.1 billion dollars in sales by 2024.<\/strong>* According to research, most of these sales will come from companies providing services tied to digital identity.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, thanks to Self Sovereign Identity, a new era for security and data protection, not to mention privacy, lies ahead. Full control of our identities and our information will be restored to us, the individuals.

La SSI nasce per evitare sia l\u2019identificazione \u201cdiretta\u201d tra utente e service provider (creo un account su un sito per usufruire dei suoi servizi), sia l\u2019identificazione cosiddetta \u201c3-corner\u201d (uso l\u2019account di un servizio per iscrivermi a un servizio terzo).<\/p><p>Il modello della Self Sovereign Identity <strong>si basa invece sul paradigma dell\u2019Identit\u00e0 Decentralizzata<\/strong>: \u00e8 l\u2019utente stesso a disporre di un\u2019unica identit\u00e0, a cui vengono associati una serie di attributi, detti \u201cclaim\u201d, da altre entit\u00e0, dette \u201cissuer\u201d, sempre verificabili dai \u201cverifier\u201d.

E da qui i possibili risvolti del modello SSI si moltiplicano poi da ogni punto di vista: basti pensare alle possibilit\u00e0 in ambito digital banking o nel mondo dell\u2019e-voting (le elezioni online), ma anche cosa avremmo potuto fare durante il lockdown da Covid-19 per sostituire le autodichiarazioni cartacee.<\/p><p><strong>Quanto di tutto ci\u00f2 si sta concretizzando?<\/strong> Molto pi\u00f9 di quanto si possa immaginare. <strong>A giugno 2020 infatti ha preso il via un <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intesa.it\/cetif-universita-cattolica-e-intesa-gruppo-ibm-in-collaborazione-con-cherrychain-avviano-progetto-nazionale-per-gestire-lonboarding-e-il-processo-di-know-your-customer-su-tecnol\/\">progetto sperimentale<\/a><\/strong> in ambito identit\u00e0 digitale, onboarding, know your customer e blockchain, portato avanti da CeTIF, Universit\u00e0 Cattolica, Intesa (Gruppo IBM), IBM e CherryChain, il cui obiettivo \u00e8 la condivisione delle informazioni degli utenti tra i partecipanti a un ecosistema per facilitare le procedure di onboarding e know your customer.<\/p><h3>Un mercato destinato a crescere<\/h3><p>Non stupisce quindi che quello della SSI sia un mercato che <strong>Juniper Research stima a 1,1 miliardi di dollari di fatturato entro il 2024<\/strong>, con un\u2019impennata in 4 anni dai 100 milioni previsti alla fine del 2020.* Secondo la ricerca, la maggior parte di questo fatturato arriver\u00e0 da aziende che forniranno servizi legati all\u2019identit\u00e0 digitale.<\/p><p>Grazie alla Self Sovereign Identity, infatti, si potr\u00e0 <strong>aprire una nuova era per la sicurezza e la tutela dei dati<\/strong>, delle credenziali, e della nostra privacy, facendo ritornare l\u2019individuo in pieno controllo della sua identit\u00e0 e delle sue informazioni.
